Load compensation to reduce deterministic jitter in clock applications

Abstract:

A method for reducing deterministic jitter in a clock generator includes providing a load current through a regulated voltage node to a circuit responsive to a divide ratio. The method includes providing an auxiliary current through the regulated voltage node. The auxiliary current has a first current level during a first period corresponding to a first value of the divide ratio and the auxiliary current has a second current level during a second period corresponding to a second value of the divide ratio.
